Tango probably does that since he works on diesels
no but i turned the pin down abit on the lathe on press pins to get some weight out on the piston then i did not feel like cutting the hell out of the piston to get a weight match on a new replacement piston when the maker plays with the design of the replacement to match up a used set with one or two new pistons. i also played with pins with thinner or heaver wall pins
